Aerial Photography: Choosing The Right Company

If you are looking for a company to provide aerial photography for you

, there are some things that you should know to make your decision making easier. Just by knowing the different types and methods of photography can save you time and effort when selecting the company that will provide the best service for you.

You will need to know what you require photography of. Some frequently requested services include real estate photography, records of weddings and special events, and surveying data collection. Once you have determined what you need the photographs for, you can start looking into the platform to be used (where the picture will be taken from). Some of the best methods are from kites, balloons, remote controlled helicopters, and manned aircraft.

Real estate companies can get some of the best results from the usage of remote controlled helicopters. They can maneuver around property while snapping shots from many different angles and positions. Kites and balloons are also useful, but they are reliant on the right wind conditions. Also, if large amounts of property are being photographed, manned helicopters and airplanes may be a more appropriate platform.

Weddings and special events. Some people desire an aerial photography company for their wedding or special event. Kite and balloons can provide very good photographs, but they require that the wind cooperate. They are strongly recommended because they can remain stationary and are silent. Remote controlled helicopters are also used, but they can be distracting.

Higher altitudes are usually required by survey companies to get required parameters for photographs, so manned aircraft are often the method of choice. There are, however, companies that are offering GPS enabled remote controlled helicopters that can reach similar altitudes for a much more cost effective solution.

Once you have determined your platform, the last thing you will have to decide upon is what kind of photographs you need. The three primary types of photographs are vertical, oblique, and panoramic.

Vertical. These photographs are straight down shots and are primary used when being able to plot and calculate distances is very important. Photographs are typically considered bad if the angle of the photo exceeds three or more degrees. Real estate and survey companies usually get the best results from vertical photographs because they can use them to plot specific points against maps of an area of interest.

Oblique photographs are taken at different angles and are usually classified as high or low angle. The only difference between high angle and low angle are that high angle includes the horizon and low angle does not. These photos are best used for special events and real estate.

Panoramic. Panoramic shots incorporate multiple photographs that are taken in rapid sequence and are joined together to make one wide image. Survey companies usually benefit the most from these photographs.

Knowing what kinds of photography are available and what types of platforms can be used will help you to make the right choice when selecting an aerial photography service.
